Walmer Estate and Woodstock are changing. Christine Hogg – a curious local – set out to discover more about the area's hybrid architecture, colonial history and recent transformation. She found residents, business owners and NGO workers who are all aware that a shift is happening, but have different stories to tell about it. Moosa Sydow reminisces about a community-focused Walmer Estate, Josephine Vollenhoven remembers when the highway was still a playground and Helen MacGregor of the Development Action Group explains what needs to be done about gentrification. En route, you’ll also find out about urban greening, historic farms, and the first telephone line in South Africa.
